Keynote Speaker – Ramona Hatch
Ramona Hatch was an amazing FACS teacher for 32 years. When she retired from
teaching, she found that she couldn’t walk away from the profession that she loves so
much. She founded the company Fresh FACS with her husband and began writing
creative, unique curriculum for the FACS classroom for teachers to incorporate into
their classes. She gives options for adding reading into the FACS classroom and really
“FACSessorizing” your lesson plans. Ramona has always been one of IFACSTA’s
supporters and we were really excited and honored when she agreed to be our
keynote speaker for the 2015 annual conference.
